This project contains 446 synthetic storms used in an assessing storm surge risk on the Texas coast. The wind and pressure files are used as input to the ADCIRC model to develop storm surge inundation maps. The results are used to determine flood insurance risk categories, which determine whether or not property falls under the federal flood insurance program.

Description:
This simulation is a collection of 446 ADCIRC storm surge simulations for synthetic storms in the Gulf of Mexico. The output includes both water elevation and velocity time-series. The data could be used for structural impacts, flood risk studies, environmental impacts, disease vectors, among other uses. The total size of the output is on the order of a few terabytes - and provides a wealth of training data for future machine learning applications.
Report | Station Metadata
Description:
Metadata for the power substations in the state of Texas.
This report details the creation of the synthetic forcing data used as input to ADCIRC. It is a draft report and was never published. Both the report and the data it describes were made available to us by the authors.
All storms were run using ADCIRC v55.0. See the README for a description of the various input and output files.

Simulation Input | ADCIRC inputs
Description:
Mesh data, bathymetry, model parameters, and forcing files (wind + pressure). For details on forcing file generation, see the files under TX FEMA Report.
Includes the standard outputs of ADCIRC - water elevation, wind speed, pressure, etc. The outputs also include some custom post-processing, such as maximum elevation plots and water elevation output at points of interest.
